ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and caloric and protein intake during the hospitalization of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: A retrospective study was performed based on clinical and nutritional data of patients undergoing autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from March 2015 to March 2017. The mean caloric and protein intake were evaluated in three different intervals (P1: from admission to the day before transplantation, P2: from the transplantation day to the day before engraftment, P3: from the engraftment day to the day of hospital discharge). Body mass index, weight loss, gastrointestinal symptoms and use of nutritional therapy were also evaluated. Results: Thirty-five patients were included in this study (25 autologous and ten allogeneic). The majority (62.6%) were overweight at admission. The median and percentage weight loss were 3.2 kg and 4.6%, respectively. A nutritional supplement was provided to 33 patients for a median of nine days. The most prevalent gastrointestinal symptoms were nausea (91.4%), vomiting (88.6%) and diarrhea (80%). The mean caloric and protein intake and adequacy of patients were 1569.0 ± 443.3 Kcal (73.6 ± 22.1%) and 66 ± 22.8 g (61.9 ± 20%), respectively. The allogeneic group presented lower intake and caloric and protein adequacy throughout hospitalization, in particular in P2, compared to the autologous patients. Conclusion: The patients presented deterioration of nutritional status during hospitalization with the reduction in food intake being greater in patients submitted to allogeneic transplantation.

Aim: to evaluate the serum concentration of NO in overweight women, smokers (SG) and nonsmokers (NSG). Methods: blood samples from smokers (n = 20) and nonsmokers (n = 18) were collected to obtain serum, and stored at -80ºC until analysis. NO was assessed by measuring total nitrite, determined by Greiss method. It was adopted as reference 24.4 ìmol/L, mean value found in a study with healthy subjects without excess weight. We used the Student t test to compare the means of age and waist circumference, and the Mann-Whitney U test to compare the median of concentrations of nitrite, number of cigarettes/day and Body Mass Index. We adopted a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: the median nitrite in SG was 16.53 (2.79 - 69.72) µmol/L, whereas in NSG was 10.85 (1.44 - 43.25) µmol/L (p = 0.028). BMI median value to SG and NSG, was respectively 29.50 (25.00 - 38.14) kg/m² and 30.68 (25.10 - 36.98) kg/m² (p = 0.530), being classified as overweight. The data showing that the average nitrite was below the estimated value for healthy individuals. Conclusion: the results indicate a decrease of NO metabolites in women with excess weight, independently of being smoker. Despite the significant difference found between groups, these women had values well below the reference value of NO for healthy women. Therefore, it seems that smoking does not interfere in nitrite levels in patients already compromised by obesity.

Objetivo: evaluar la concentración sérica de NO en las mujeres con sobrepeso, fumadoras (SG) y no fumadoras (GSN). Método: se recogieron muestras de sangre de las fumadoras (n = 20) y no fumadoras (n = 18) para obtener el suero, y se almacenaron a -80 ºC hasta su análisis. NO se evaluó mediante la medición total de nitrito, determinado por el método Greiss. Fue adoptado como referencia de 24,4 µmol/L, valor medio que se encuentra en un estudio con sujetos sanos sin exceso de peso. Se utilizó la prueba t de Student para comparar las medias de edad y la circunferencia de la cintura, así como la prueba de Mann-Whitney para comparar la mediana de las concentraciones de nitrito, número de cigarrillos/día y el Índice de Masa Corporal. Hemos adoptado un nivel de significación de p < 0,05. Resultados: la mediana de SG nitrito fue 16,53 (2,79- 69,72) mol/L, mientras que en NSG fue 10,85 (1,44-43,25) µmol/L (p = 0,028). El IMC valor de la mediana de SG y NSG fue, respectivamente, 29,50 (25,00-38,14) kg/m² y 30,68 (25,10-36,98) kg/m² (p = 0,530), siendo clasificado como sobrepeso. Los datos muestran que el nitrito promedio estuvo por debajo del valor estimado para individuos sanos. Conclusiones: los resultados indican una disminución de los metabolitos NO en las mujeres con exceso de peso, independientemente de si son fumadoras o no. A pesar de la diferencia significativa entre los grupos, estas mujeres tenían valores muy por debajo del valor de referencia del NO para las mujeres sanas. Por lo tanto, parece que el fumar no interfiere en los niveles de nitritos en pacientes que ya están comprometidas por la obesidad.

Objetivo Embora existam programas efetivos para tratamento da obesidade, são grandes as taxas de abandono. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o estágio motivacional em que se encontravam pacientes com sobrepeso ou obesidade I e II atendidos em ambulatório de Nutrição e seus fatores associados. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostragem por conveniência, em que foram coletadas informações da história clínica, antropometria, compulsão alimentar (BES – Binge Eating Scale) e motivação para o tratamento (URICA – University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale). Resultados Dos 48 avaliados, 29,2% encontravam-se em pré-contemplação, 41,7%, em contemplação e 29,2%, em ação. Quem procurou tratamento para controle de alguma comorbidade além da perda de peso teve maior escore de prontidão (p = 0,024). Motivação não foi relacionada ao estado nutricional nem à tentativa anterior de perda de peso, mas relacionou-se à orientação profissional anterior (p = 0,005). Dos 26,8% que apresentavam sintomatologia moderada ou grave para compulsão alimentar, 90,9% estavam em contemplação, com diferença significativa quanto à pré-contemplação (p = 0,001) e à ação (p = 0,02). Conclusão Esses resultados sugerem que parte dos indivíduos que procuram tratamento para perda de peso não o faz com a motivação necessária e que, se o aconselhamento profissional quanto à importância da perda de peso ocorresse antes que patologias associadas à obesidade se instalassem, indivíduos mais motivados poderiam procurar tratamento e evitar tais complicações.

Objective Although there are effective programs for treating obesity, are large dropout rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the motivational stage in patients who were overweight or obesity I and II, in an outpatient clinic nutrition, and its associated factors. Methods It is a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling, in which information from the clinical history, anthropometry, binge eating (BES – Binge Eating Scale) and motivation for treatment (URICA – University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale) were collected. Results Of the 48 evaluated, 29.2% were in precontemplation stage, 41.7% were in contemplation stage and 29.2% were in action stage. Who sought treatment for comorbidity control besides the weight loss had greater readiness score (p = 0.024). Motivation was not related to nutritional status, nor the previous attempt at weight loss, but was related to the previous professional guidance (p = 0.005). Among 26.8% had moderate or severe symptoms for binge eating, 90.9% were in contemplation, with a significant difference in pre-contemplation (p = 0.001) and action (p = 0.02). Conclusion These results suggest that individuals who seek treatment for weight loss do not make it with the necessary motivation, and that if professional advice on the weight loss importance occurred before the associated with obesity pathologies were installed, more motivated individuals could seek treating and preventing these complications.

Objetivo Como não há na literatura informações sobre o perfil de consumo alcoólico entre desportistas, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o perfil de consumo alcoólico por frequentadores de academia de ginástica associando com a antropometria e a intensidade do treino. Métodos Foram convidados a participar do estudo indivíduos praticantes de musculação, por no mínimo seis meses, com idade entre 20 e 40 anos, de ambos os sexos. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e de composição corporal. Para avaliação do consumo alcoólico, utilizou-se o questionário AUDIT (The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test). A intensidade do treino foi identificada por meio de um questionário semiestruturado. Resultados Dos participantes, 74,1% (n = 35) disseram ter feito uso de álcool. Além disso, 19 voluntários (38,8%) apresentaram comportamento de risco para o consumo de álcool (AUDIT ≥ 8). Considerando o consumo alcoólico em binge, 32 voluntários (65,3%) consumiram seis ou mais doses de álcool em alguma ocasião no ano anterior, não havendo diferença entre os sexos. A adiposidade corporal estava acima dos valores recomendados entre os que relataram consumo em binge. Não houve associação entre a intensidade do treinamento físico e o consumo de álcool em binge, nem entre a intensidade do treinamento e o comportamento de risco para o consumo de álcool. Conclusão A maioria dos desportistas apresentou consumo de bebidas alcoólicas no padrão binge, não sendo associado à intensidade do treinamento. Este não condiz com os seus objetivos ao frequentar academias de ginástica. A adiposidade corporal estava acima dos valores recomendados.

Objective As there is no information in the literature about alcohol consumption profile among sportsmen, the aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of alcohol consumption by gym goers associating with anthropometry and training intensity. Methods Were invited subjects bodybuilders for at least six months, aged between 20 and 40 years, of both sexes. Anthropometric measurements were taken and body composition. To assess alcohol consumption, we used the AUDIT questionnaire. The intensity of training was identified through a semi-structured questionnaire. Results   74.1% (n = 35) of participants reported having used alcohol. In addition, 19 volunteers (38.8%) had risk behavior for alcohol consumption (AUDIT ≥ 8). Considering the binge drinking, 32 volunteers (65.3%) consumed six or more drinks of alcohol at some time in the previous year, with no difference between sexes. Body adiposity was above the recommended values among those who reported binge drinking. There was no association between the intensity of physical training and binge drinking, nor between training intensity and risk behavior for alcohol consumption. Conclusion Most sportsmen showed drinking binge in not being associated with the intensity of training. This consumption is not consistent with your goals by attending gyms. Body adiposity was above the recommended values.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil bioquímico e nutricional de fumantes em tratamento para a cessação tabágica e sua associação com parâmetros antropométricos. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com amostra de conveniência. Adultos fumantes foram avaliados no início do tratamento no Centro Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa e Intervenção em Tabagismo do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CIPIT/HU-UFJF). Foram avaliados o índice de massa corporal (IMC), índice de conicidade (IC), circunferência da cintura (CC), percentual de gordura corporal (%GC), glicemia de jejum, cortisol, insulina, colesterol total (TC), colesterol LDL-c, HDL-c, triglicéridos (TG) e síndrome metabólica (SM). RESULTADOS: A maioria dos participantes possuía SM e alto risco cardiovascular. A glicemia de jejum estava alterada em 30,4%. Houve correlação positiva significativa entre IMC e CC (r = 0,90; p = 0,0001), %GC (r = 0,79; p = 0,0001), IC (r = 0,65; p = 0,0001), glicemia (r = 0,42; p = 0,04) e TG (r = 0,47; p = 0,002). O IC também apresentou correlação positiva com insulina (r = 0,6; p = 0,001), glicemia (r = 0,55; p = 0,007), TG (r = 0,54; p = 0,008) e %GC (r = 0,43; p = 0,004). Pacientes com maior tempo de tabagismo tiveram maior risco de desenvolver SM (O = 9,6; p = 0,016). CONCLUSÃO: Os fumantes avaliados tiveram maior risco de desenvolver SM, especialmente aqueles que fumavam por mais tempo, requerendo urgência para a cessação tabágica.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biochemical and nutritional status of smokers in treatment for smoking cessation and its association with anthropometric parameters. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with convenience sample. Adult smokers were assessed at the start of treatment in the Interdisciplinary Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CIPIT/HU-UFJF). We evaluated the body mass index (BMI), conicity index (CI); waist circumference (WC), percentage of body fat (%BF), fasting glycemia, cortisol, insulin, total cholesterol (TC), LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides (TG) and metabolic syndrome (MS). RESULTS: Most participants (52.2%) had MS and high cardiovascular risk. The fasting glycemia was abnormal in 30.4%. There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and WC (r = 0.90; p = 0.0001), %BF (r = 0.79; p = 0.0001), CI (r = 0.65; p = 0.0001), glycemia (r = 0.42; p = 0.04) and TG (r = 0.47; p = 0.002). The CI presented positive correction with insulin (r = 0.60; p = 0.001), glycemia (r = 0.55; p = 0.007), TG (r = 0.54; p = 0.008) and %BF (r = 0.43; p = 0.004). Patients with longer duration of smoking had a higher risk of developing MS (OR = 9.6, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION: The smokers evaluated had increased risk for developing MS, especially those with longer duration of smoking, requiring urgent smoking cessation.

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever a concordância entre imagem corporal (IC) e estado nutricional (EN) e verificar a associação de IC e de EN com comportamentos relacionados ao peso corporal (CRPC) entre adolescentes brasileiros. Estudou-se, em 2009, amostra representativa de alunos do 9º ano do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas e privadas das 26 capitais brasileiras e do Distrito Federal. Utilizou-se questionário autoaplicável sobre IC, CRPC e dados sociodemográficos e foram aferidos peso e altura. Utilizou-se o teste Kappa ponderado (KP) para exame da concordância entre EN e IC. Análises de regressão logística foram realizadas para exame da associação entre as variáveis. Do total de adolescentes, 24% apresentavam excesso de peso (EP), quase 2/3 deles tinham alguma atitude para controlar o peso e 7% realizavam práticas extremas para redução do peso (PECP). Foi baixa a concordância entre EN e IC (KP=0,33). Quase metade dos alunos com EP considerava-se com peso adequado e 27%, magros. Maior proporção de adolescentes com EP fazia uso de PECP, quando comparados àqueles de peso adequado e baixo peso. O mesmo foi observado em relação à IC. Conclusão: foi baixa a concordância entre EN e IC. Atitudes de controle de peso e PECP foram frequentes mesmo entre indivíduos com EN adequado.

The objective of this work is to describe the agreement between body image (BI) and nutritional status (NS) as well as to verify the association of BI and NS with behaviors regarding body weight (BRBW) among Brazilian adolescents. In 2009, a random sample of students in 9th year at public and private schools from 26 Brazilian state capitals and Federal District was studied. It was used a self-administered questionnaire with information about BI, BRBW and socioeconomic factors. Weight and height were measured. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between variables and weighted kappa test was used to verify the agreement between NS and BI. Twenty-four percent of the adolescents had excessive weight (EW) and 17.7% considered themselves fat. Almost 2/3 performed some action to weight control and 7% showed extreme behavior for weight control (EBWC). Low agreement between the NS and BI was observed. Nearly half and 27% of those with EW considered themselves as having normal weight and being thin, respectively. Greater proportion of EW adolescents had EBWC when compared with those with normal weight and underweight. The same was observed in relation to BI. Low agreement between EN and BI was observed. Practices for weight control were observed even among individuals with adequate NS.
